Queuegraph - a RRDtool frontend for Postfix queue-statistics

queuegraph is a very simple mail statistics RRDtool frontend for Postfix that produces daily, weekly, monthly and yearly graphs of Postfix's active, deferred, incoming and bounce queues.The postfix's queue is usually in /var/spool/postfix. queuegraph is created by Ralf Hildebrandt and based on mailgraph by David Schweikert. Below is the dirs in my system:

Then I copied queuegraph.cgi into the cgi-bin directory of my webserver: cp queuegraph.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin/ or where your webserver's cgi directory is (consult your distro manual.) Then chmoded it to 755 so that my webserver can run it: chmod 755 queuegraph.cgi

To see the statistics created by queuegraph, point your web browser to http://yourwebseraddress/cgi-bin/queuegraph.cgi

This is the graph for my postfix queue (without the Month and Year graph):
